Despite having such a high Ebay rating, the seller was definitely unscrupulous, as confirmed by emails he sent on two occasions trying to convince me to buy his LHD parts and that the US was a "LHD" left-hand drive country. To be clear, US is a RHD country even though Ebay has a different description "drivers side" as "left" or "right" which means where the seat in the car is.

Not sure why he'd risk his rating...but full disclosure, dummy me I fell for it.

You live in a LHD country and received LHD parts, so not sure what is the problem."

USA is LHD country, its a common knowledge..."
